Re: Ect and finding some Red again

It went ok I think. I feel really tired.

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

Glad it went ok @The-red-centaur . Hope you've been able to get some rest today afterwards.

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

Im struggling atm. My nurse doesn't seem to want to know.

I'm in a lot pain still from this morning. My head hurts so much. I ache all over. I hope the rest isn't like this. But what's a little bit of pain as a price for recovery. I'd still take recovery.

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

@TheVorticon I slept most of today.

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

Sleep sounds like it would've been helpful @The-red-centaur. Sorry to hear that you're aching.
It sucks about the nurse not listening at the moment.

Have you got anything that could help distract you from the pain for a bit?

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

@TheVorticon I'm listening to tunes. Might do some art later. Idk.

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

I am proud of you @The-red-centaur  its been a big day for you. I slept most of the day each time I had ECT. 

Sorry about the pain. Can you get some panadol from the nurse? The headaches can be annoying but it will be worth it if you get some relief.

I’m having an mri of my brain tomorrow so I’ll let you know if it’s still there!!  I am annoyed at the person frightening you like they did.

You sound like you have a great attitude so here’s hoping for great results.

Is the next one on Wednesday?

Stay strong, you’ve got this.

❤️💙❤️

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

@Eve7 I was already on regular Panadol and nurofen before the ECT, I already had chronic pain todays just been extra difficult.

How did you go today.


And yeh my next is Wednesday. You?

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

Sorry about the chronic pain @The-red-centaur  Im having a break at present as I’ve had a heart infection and I can’t have an anaesthetic for 3 months. I did some with @Snowie  so It’s good to have a buddy.

Good luck for Wednesday and I hope your headache settles soon.

❤️💙❤️

Re: Ect and finding some Red again

@Eve7 sorry about your infection. Hope it's clearing up.

@Snowie how's it going.



I'm having a hard day today. Only left my bed for the meals.
